Hi there! Yep, been watching since Thursday. I don't really have any favorites and I love the upsets of high seeds. It's exciting to watch and it's helping relieve football withdrawal!

Welcome sunny daze. I usually route for the Tar heels but they didn't make it. I hate to route for Duke. Maybe a cinderalla will show up.

Hi Darlene. Thanks for the welcome. I'll root for anyone but Duke too. LOL That goes back many years. Sorry about the Tar Heels. It seems strange for them not to be in it. I was actually hoping Ohio U would win today since they haven't been in it for forty years. Love those underdogs and cinderellas too!

I have no dog in this fight. In the bracket that I set up I picked Syracuse to win the title but I won't be upset should they lose. I also enjoy seeing the "factory schools " get beat. Thank you Northern Iowa for knocking off Kansas and I'd love to see Duke and Kentucky suffer similar fates.

Probably the only almost sure thing is the UConn women waltzing to the ladies championship. I usually stay away from girl's hoops, but they are really fun to watch.

On the bright side, football season is only 5 1/2 months away.

Heard a great comment by one of the sportscasters last night. He said " that sound you hear is bracket sheets being ripped up all over the country!" Very likely true!

Now! Back to important stuff. It was a great weekend of games. It's at the point though, where I start to feel so bad for the kids who lose. I know it's just a game but they all look so devastated that I feel for them. Now if we could just get rid of Duke....LOL

Maryland lost a heartbreaker last night to Michigan state. This might have been their year.

I saw that one Darlene. And there were a couple of others like that. It's especially rough losing at the buzzer I think.

Our high school team got beat by our rival on a buzzer beater. It can leave a bad taste in your taste. We had them but in the final seconds it got away.

Thanksforhelping welcome to the boards and I'm going through football withdrawls too. I'm a Ga Falcons fan of course but what I'm really withdrawing from is The Ga Bulldogs, the college team. We have our whole house decorated ala UGA and we personally have kept them in business all these years by buying anything UGA we can get our hands on.

Russ who is Butler, I know nothing about them. I might go for West Virginis or is Butler more of an underdog.
